Article Idea Generator

What this tool does

The Article Idea Generator produces 30 article ideas from a topic, audience, and goal. Ideas span ten formats: how-to, comparison, list, beginner guide, problems, mistakes, case study, opinion, FAQ, and tools/resources.

Idea generation is where content teams stall. This tool breaks the blank page by systematically applying the formats that work, so you get breadth — not just three variations of the same how-to post.

Ideas are template-based and deterministic. They are starting points to combine with your own expertise, not finished headlines to publish blindly.

How to use it

1. Enter your topic and target audience.
2. Describe your goal (e.g. attract beginners, convert readers).
3. Generate 30 ideas across all ten formats.
4. Pick the strongest ideas and develop them with the Outline Generator.

How it works

• Ten content formats each contribute three templates, for 30 total ideas.
• Your topic is title-cased into each template, and your audience is appended as a qualifier.
• The generator deliberately favors evergreen formats — how-to, comparison, and list — which perform consistently for search and social.

Example

Topic "email marketing", audience "small businesses" produces ideas from "How to Get Started with Email Marketing for Small Businesses" to "10 Email Marketing Mistakes You Can Avoid for Small Businesses".
